Chapter 330 Armor
Chapter 330 Armor
Shu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and rubbed her ears. She was called Junior Brother. There were only two Senior Brothers. This one was obviously not the Senior Brother. Then...
"Senior Brother Yun?" Shu Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
"Well, I'm back." Yun Qinghan's voice was soft and smiling. Let alone other things, just the various food and daily necessities that his junior brother had sent him over the years made it impossible for him to keep a cold face.
You have to know that the border is far away, and the military camp provides food, accommodation, and clothing. Although the conditions are not good, they can guarantee basic life. After all, war is not a place to enjoy life. In addition, the journey is long and transportation is inconvenient, so few people send letters from home to the military camp, let alone food.
In fact, most of the soldiers who joined the army came from poor families. They could not even afford the transportation fee, let alone other things. Basically, they would disappear from their families for several years after serving in the army. However, he was definitely the envy of the entire army because of the various supplies sent by his junior fellow apprentice every year.
Having been away from his parents since he was a child, Yun Qinghan secretly hopes that his relatives will care about him. Even if he has nothing, it is really good to have others care about him sincerely. In the past few years, because of his junior brother, he has enjoyed the envious gazes of everyone in the military camp. It must be said that he really enjoys this kind of gaze.
Even because of these things, he is quite popular in the military camp. For the sake of the food in his hands, people would take the initiative to make friends with him too much. Although he doesn't need it, a good relationship is always better than a bad one.
There was also a constant flow of various pills sent to him. He was able to achieve great feats on the battlefield thanks in large part to the pills from his junior brother. Although they were brothers in the same sect, he appreciated the kindness.
In the past few years on the battlefield, the person he missed the most was his junior brother, so how could he be serious in front of Shu Xiaoxiao? His junior brother could be said to be the most considerate and caring person to him in his memory.
"Brother, it really is you. You're back. I missed you so much." Shu Xiaoxiao said excitedly. He didn't expect that the scene of their reunion would be so special.
"Shh, keep your voice down!" Yun Qinghan quickly reminded them that now was not the right time for them to reminisce about the past.
"Hmm, hmm." Shu Xiaoxiao quickly covered her mouth. Fortunately, the sound was not loud.
"Have you noticed anything wrong?" Yun Qinghan saw that Shu Xiaoxiao had calmed down and her bright eyes were staring at him. He lowered his head and asked carefully. Wearing a tight nightgown, she looked even smaller, like a child who had not grown up. It turned out that she did not eat well.
He also didn't expect that his junior fellow apprentice would visit the Prince of Wei's Mansion at night. Fortunately, the guards were not tight today, otherwise it would be dangerous. He entered the Prince of Wei's Mansion yesterday, but the guards were particularly tight yesterday, and there were almost people everywhere in the dark. He only walked around outside for a few rounds and then went back. Today, he came in after seeing that everyone had withdrawn. Unexpectedly, he met his junior fellow apprentice.
"I found a few letters and replaced them with white paper. You have to go out to see the specific contents. Then I found a mechanism and was about to open it when you came." Shu Xiaoxiao confessed honestly. She definitely couldn't kick her senior brother out, so they had to act together!
"Where is the agency?"
"Here!" Shu Xiaoxiao went over to turn the vase, but the study was silent. What happened? Shu Xiaoxiao looked at Wenzhu with a confused look on her face. The vase was turned, but why didn't it respond? It seemed that this undercover agent was not very competent.
"You have to turn mine again, also half a circle!" said Acorus proudly. There was only one switch for the secret room, belonging to Asparagus, but it was useless.
"Yes, little baby, please turn the calamus!" Alas, its highlight moment was snatched away like this, and after a long time, it almost forgot about it and wanted to turn something else.
Shu Xiaoxiao twitched the corners of her mouth. There was still time to compete for favor. The King of Wei was quite cunning and the secret room he set up was quite unexpected.
After turning another half circle, the bookshelf quietly revealed a secret room more than one meter high.
Yun Qinghan was also a little surprised. Is it a double mechanism? He could not be so assured. Most people would not think of it. He observed carefully and said, "Follow me closely!" and entered the secret passage first.
The secret passage was pitch black, and it was not like what you see on TV where you either open it with a candle or a night-shining pearl. Anyway, the secret rooms on TV were bright even at night, but here it was pitch dark. Seeing Senior Brother Yun preparing to light the tinder, Shu Xiaoxiao silently handed him a fist-sized night-shining pearl.
This was a reward from the emperor. There was only one in the whole Daning. Before the whole harem could react, the emperor gave her the whole thing as a reward. This was an absolutely pure natural, pollution-free, and not artificially fake night pearl in ancient times.
It is so convenient to use at night, hundreds of times better than candles, lanterns, and light bulbs, but she feels that such a large night pearl is most suitable for treasure hunting. This wish has only come true today, so when she was preparing to come to the Prince of Wei's Mansion, she brought it with her. She was worried before that she would not be able to use it, but now she can rest assured, as it finally comes in handy.
Looking at the fist-sized luminous pearl, Yun Qinghan was surprised. This kind of thing is not uncommon. After not seeing it for a few years, his junior brother has become quite wealthy. But it is indeed much better than a fire starter. Under the light of the light blue, the two of them could see the whole picture of the secret room.
The secret room was about a hundred square meters in size. Two storage racks were filled to the brim, and there were dozens of boxes spread out on the ground. Yun Qinghan held a night-shining pearl in one hand and opened the boxes on the ground with the other. The first few boxes contained gold bars and gold bricks, and two boxes of jewelry, and the rest were weapons and armor!
armor!
Shu Xiaoxiao was shocked. This King of Wei was not only a traitor who sold out his country, but he also wanted to rebel. Selling out his country should be for the purpose of rebellion. How could a prince not want to be an emperor?
Now that he has become an unappreciated prince and has personally experienced the difference between the monarch and his subjects, he must want to rebel even more. After all, we are brothers, so why shouldn't you kneel to me? Shu Xiaoxiao is not surprised at all by this mentality.
Shu Xiaoxiao has been in ancient times for such a long time, so she knows everything she should know. Weapons are easy to deal with, but the materials needed to make armor are more expensive than bows and crossbows, and the production time is much longer than that of crossbows. Hoarding armor privately is equivalent to rebellion.
There is a saying nowadays that "one piece of armor is worth three crossbows, three pieces of armor can take you to the underworld." From this saying, we can see the importance of armor. If armor is worn by soldiers, it will have strong defensive capabilities and can resist the enemy's sword and gun attacks, and the attacks will also be more fierce, so the management of armor is stricter than that of weapons.
Haven't you seen that apart from military camps and battlefields, there are only a few people wearing armor in daily life? Even the Jinyiwei in the palace wore Feiyu suits. There were so many armors in the secret room of Prince Wei's Mansion. Once discovered, it would be a rebellion that was set in stone. There would be no need to even look for evidence. These armors would be the most convincing evidence.
